Software Development Engineer in Test - Privacy Data Protection Office

Team Introduction: The PDPO (Privacy Data Protection Office) Testing Team focuses on ensuring the security, compliance, and reliability of privacy-related features across the entire product ecosystem. Our mission is to verify that data protection mechanisms work consistently across frontend, backend, and data pipelines, delivering trust and safety at speed.

As a Test Engineer on our team, you will:

• Design, develop, and implement functionality testing for privacy-related features across mobile applications (iOS/Android), web frontend, backend services, and data processing pipelines;
• Design test plans for new privacy features and regression test cases covering end-to-end data flow — from user interaction to storage, transmission, and data platform consumption;
• Work on project management, risk management, and process management tasks with a focus on cross-layer privacy risk assessment;
• Help implement test tools and collaborate with automation/performance test teams to build internal tools/frameworks/platforms to improve testing productivity across multiple stacks;
• Track defects and manage bugs throughout the entire software development cycle, with special attention to privacy leakage, incorrect data handling, and cross-system inconsistency.

Minimum Qualifications:

• BS/MS degree in a relevant field: Computer Engineering, EE, or Cybersecurity;
• Testing experience across multiple tiers — including frontend, backend, and data/infrastructure layers — rather than deep expertise in a single platform;
• Fundamental knowledge of distributed systems, common data protection concepts (encryption, access control, auditing), and familiarity with frontend-backend-data interaction patterns;
• Experience with performance testing tools, test automation, and/or test platform development in a polyglot environment;
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to coordinate with different global teams, including legal, compliance, and data governance teams when needed;
• Strong passion for protecting user data and ensuring end-to-end privacy quality assurance across the entire technology stack — not limited to a single client.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiar with Java/Python/Objective-C/Golang, experience in related projects development;
• Familiar with Redis, NSQ, Zero-MQ, Kafka, Docker, K8s, Hive, Spark.
